This volume looks at how accumulation in postcolonial capitalism
blurs the boundaries of space, institutions, forms, financial
regimes, labour processes, and economic segments on one hand, and
creates zones and corridors on the other. It draws our attention to
the peculiar but structurally necessary coexistence of both
primitive and virtual modes of accumulation in the postcolony. From
these two major inquiries it develops a new understanding of
postcolonial capitalism. The case studies in this volume discuss
the production of urban spaces of capital extraction,
institutionalization of postcolonial finance capital, gendering of
work forms, establishment of new forms of labour, formation of and
changes in caste and racial identities and networks, and
securitization-and thereby confirm that no study of contemporary
capitalism is complete without thoroughly addressing the
postcolonial condition. By challenging the established dualities
between citizenship-based civil society and welfare-based political
society, exploring critically the question of colonial and
postcolonial difference, and foregrounding the material processes
of accumulation against the culturalism of postcolonial studies,
this volume redefines postcolonial studies in South Asia and
beyond. It is invaluable reading for students and scholars of South
Asian studies, sociology, cultural and critical anthropology,
critical and praxis studies, and political science.
